ability to insert local modules

[AtzeDeVries]

Hi,

If you develop a puppet module and in combination with this project you get a lot of overhead since you have to

1. Push your code somewhwere (git / svn)
2. Change Puppetfile in so that docker will think there is a change
3. Wait until r10k has installed all modules

It would be easer to have a agurment for this (which can be used multipe times). Something like
puppet docker build --add-module /path/to/your/module and it will translate into the docker file like this
COPY /path/to/your/module /etc/puppetlabs/code/modules/modulename
where modulename is the last part of /path/to/your/module

this line en should be inserted before init.pp is applied.

+1 --modulepath would be even better, which could point to a directory containing the modules (as is the case with vanilla puppet apply) that are to be copied into the container.

@AtzeDeVries @oc243 thanks, good suggestion. I like the idea --modulepath too. If anyone has time and inclination to look at a PR please do, otherwise I'll look to add this when I get a moment. Cheers

@AtzeDeVries @oc243 I've a PR up with this functionality at #27

Because the tool is implemented as a puppet subcommand we can't reuse the modulepath option. The current PR therefore uses module_path which I'm unsure about being the right option. I'd love any feedback you might have, and if you get a chance to try out and see if it addresses your needs.

Thanks @garethr. I'll try this out in the morning.

Just tried this and it seems to work well. TY!
